What People are Saying
Measure O is widely supported by individuals, businesses, and organizations in the Scotts Valley community.
Sharon Willey - President, SVHS Parent Club President & SVUSD Parent
"As a parent, volunteer and property owner in Scotts Valley, I will be voting yes on Measure O to invest in our children, our community and our home's future value. Our kids deserve better than the current school facilities. And there is a clear connection between property values and quality schools. I'll be voting yes to invest in the future of our family and Scotts Valley."
Jack Dilles - Former Mayor, City of Scotts Valley
"There is no better investment than investing in our youth and in the incredible Scotts Valley School District.”
Jennifer Santillana - SVUSD Parent
"Brook Knoll desperately needs updating to make it safe and appealing to all families. Measure O passing would help our district step into the 21st century. Our children deserve it!"
Mahina Hoey - SVUSD Parent
"I am a proponent of public education. I attended public schools. I’m a staunch supporter of public school teachers, support staff, and administrators. I will enthusiastically vote “Yes” on Measure O."
Deidre Czech, SVUSD Parent
"Measure O is crucial to keeping enrollment up (and thus good schools, good neighborhoods, and great returns on your property investments) in Scotts Valley."
Brian Bothman - Loca Business Owner
"Our kids deserve a SAFE place for sports and all physical educational related learning. We all deserve to have an accessible, safe, and comfortable place to watch our local sports games, competitions, and many other community events. This is what builds communities and provides a source of pride for our kids. This investment is a very long-term and fiscally responsible mission for our entire community. As a former SVEF, Falcon Club Member/Officer, we have looked forward to having these improvements finally completed.”
Randy Johnson - Mayor, City of Scotts Valley
"I can't think of a better investment to help our students succeed."
Grace Kau - SVUSD DEIB Committee Member; SVUSD Parent
"I support the school bond because our children and teachers deserve to have schools that are safe and up-to-date. We are a city that prides itself on our great schools, and if we want to keep it that way, we need to invest in our school facilities."
Deanna Whitt - SVUSD Parent & Realtor
"Our kids and teachers deserve higher quality campuses so they can thrive and succeed!"
Aryn Pedersen - Community Member
"Our schools are one of the big reasons why our community is such a highly coveted place to live. Improved school infrastructure will not only benefit the kids of Scotts Valley, it will also have a positive impact on home prices, and so the nominal $49/$100,000 dedicated fund for our schools will be a boon for everyone in our beloved town."
Dave Hodgin - President, Scotts Valley Senior Life Association
"Our outstanding schools are a jump start for our grandchildren and a reason for our high property values. Although normally opposed to increasing the tax burden, supporting great schools is to everyone's advantage, including senior citizens."
Nicole and Chris Coburn - SVUSD Parents
"Our boys attend SVMS, and we’d like for them to have access to an all-weather track and field in a couple of years when they attend SVHS. We support Measure O to level the playing field for our athletes!"
Steve Clark - Candidate, Scotts Valley City Council
"Measure O is about more than just building and repairing facilities, it is about building and investing in the future of Scotts Valley and our future leaders."
